Crypto’s recent resurgence is a great sign that “risk on” trades are alive and well. There is still a big, big appetite for risk, which is great because we’re getting into the bulk of earnings season.
We have a big-hitter coming up with Netflix set to report Thursday after the bell. Over the past year, Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX) has seen some major moves on earnings, including a 13% bounce last quarter after an upside surprise.
The second quarter of 2022, it cratered 35% — after an earnings beat… This same quarter year over year, it tanked 22%, also on an earnings beat. But we were in a bear market, and we’re not quite as bearish right now.
So Netflix is likely to be a big mover, but here’s the problem…Netflix is trading around $330 a share as of Tuesday morning. If you think the stock is going to bounce on earnings, which it very well could, the weekly $350 calls were priced around $10.00 before the open Tuesday — very expensive.
You’d need the stock to hit $360 to make a decent profit. To make money on a bearish move, you’d need it to trade down to around $275.
What I’m getting at here is much like we said last quarter, it’s hard to find good value in trading Netflix earnings.

P.S. The Perfect Storm Is Brewing for a 21st Century Catastrophe
This could be one of the biggest financial opportunities of 2023 — and beyond.
Even Warren Buffett agrees it’s a “generational opportunity” for intelligent investors.
JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and Forbes have issued dire reports that increased global demand for fossil fuels is contributing to an “Energy Supercycle.”
A term that the mainstream media is refusing to mention right now.
I’m talking about a 21st-century energy catastrophe — an event that could have an even greater impact than the 2008 recession.
And as you read this, the dominoes are starting to fall.
The fact is: If my research is correct…
Millions of Europeans could freeze to death this coming winter…
But for investors who take action, getting ahead of this 21st-century energy catastrophe…
